Johnson’s Baby Head to Toe Wash 100ml Tear Free Gentle Bath Time Formula for Kids

Product Overview

Johnson’s Head to Toe Wash is a mild, tear-free wash for a baby’s hair and skin together. It cleans without stripping the skin’s natural moisture, and the formula is hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. A small amount lathers enough for a whole baby and rinses away easily.

This is the 100ml size — the one that lives in a changing bag or a hospital bag rather than at the side of the bath.

What “Tear-Free” Actually Means

A tear-free formula is pH-balanced close to the eye’s own so it stings less than ordinary soap if it runs in. It does not mean the product is harmless in the eye, and it does not mean you can be careless with it.

If it does get in, rinse with clean lukewarm water and reassure the baby. Persistent redness, swelling or rubbing after rinsing is worth a doctor’s opinion.

What “Hypoallergenic” Means

It means the formula is made to reduce the likelihood of an allergic reaction — typically by leaving out common allergens. It is not a guarantee that nobody will react, because any ingredient can cause a reaction in someone. Patch test on a baby who has reacted to products before.

Why Baby Skin Needs Different Products

A newborn’s skin is around thinner than an adult’s and its barrier is still developing, so it loses water faster and absorbs more of whatever is applied to it. That is the practical reason to prefer a short ingredient list and a mild formula on an infant — not because gentle sounds nicer, but because more of the product gets through.

Babies also do not need bathing every day. Two or three baths a week with topping and tailing in between is enough for most infants in the first months, and over-washing is a common cause of dryness.

How to Use

1. Test the bath water at around 37°C with your elbow.
2. Put a small amount in your hand, lather lightly, and wash the scalp with your fingertips before working down the body.
3. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Pat dry and check the skin folds are dry.

Bath Safety

• Never leave a baby alone in the bath, not even for a second. An infant can drown in a few centimetres of water and it happens silently. If you must answer the door or the phone, take the baby with you.
• Run cold water first, then add hot, and test the temperature with your elbow or wrist — around 37°C. Hands are poor thermometers.
• Keep one hand supporting the baby at all times.
• Wet bathroom floors and soapy babies are slippery. Have the towel within reach before you start.
• Bath seats and rings are not safety devices. They tip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is tear-free safe in the eyes?

It stings less than ordinary soap; it is not meant for the eye. Rinse with clean lukewarm water if it gets in.

What age is it suitable for?

Where the manufacturer states an age range it is given in the specifications above. If none is stated, take a paediatrician’s advice for a newborn rather than assuming.

Can I use it on sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

Patch test first, and ask your doctor before using anything new on a baby who has eczema or broken skin. A product being marketed as gentle is not the same as it being right for a diagnosed skin condition.
